Gluten-free crepe-style pancakes to die for

I LOVE Sundays and especially Sunday mornings. One of my favorite things to do is make breakfast. I tend to splurge a little as I am usually pretty freaking healthy all week. A few months back I had posted a recipe for gluten-free pancakes that I thought were damn good. But more recently, I came up with my own recipe and I must say they turned out mighty fine. The thing I like about these pancakes is they are very thin. At first I thought I had ruined them because I am used to the fluffy thicker type of pancake. BUT they are actually very similar to crepes and less heavy which I am a huge fan of.

What you will need:

1 cup white rice flour
1 Tbs Stevia
2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt

1 cup Almond milk (Unsweetened Vanilla)
½ tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 Tbs coconut oil 

cooking spray

cookie sheet

foil 

Trader Joe's Organic Maple Syrup

Step 1:

Preheat your griddle to medium heat and your oven to 200 degrees. Also, take a piece of foil and lay out on a cookie sheet and then fold in half.

Step 2:

In a medium bowl, combine the white rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt with a whisk.

Step 3:

In another medium bowl, combine the milk, vanilla, egg and oil. Whisk until mixed well. 

Step 4:

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk it together. 

Step 5:

Coat the griddle well with non-stick cooking spray. I use an Olive oil spray. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop some batter out of the bowl and onto the griddle. Once it starts to bubble it's time to flip them.

Step 6:

As you finish each pancake, put under the foil and back into the oven to stay warm. At this time you can also heat your syrup. I always do this because there's nothing worse than a nice hot pancake with cold syrup!

Ready to serve! 

I always make pancakes with turkey bacon as the combo is outrageous. Adding any type of berry to it also takes it to another level. I just recently started using coconut milk in my coffee instead of half n half and I'm addicted. Enjoy and Happy Sunday!!!

*Grilled shrimp with a side salad of spinach, beets, green apples, cucumbers, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and some balsamic and olive oil. What more could you need or want?! (besides some croutons, a cup of the Parmesan cheese and a loaf of bread?) - ;)

*I'm obsessed with Whole Foods despite the fact that they take every penny I have cause it's not cheap. BUT it's good for the bod so it works itself out. I only had a few minutes for lunch so I ran to Whole Foods and threw a few things into the box. It ended up being one of the best (and most random) lunches I've had. Black beans, shredded butternut squash, zucchini, beets, mushrooms, sesame quinoa, grilled chicken, hard boiled egg and some balsamic and olive oil. It was amazing*

*Tired of the same old thing so I decided to try something new for dinner one night last week. I made a delicious quesadilla made with a gluten-free tortilla, chopped up grilled chicken, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, a small sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese, homemade guacamole and spicy salsa. It was KILLER. It's exciting trying something new even if it's as simple as making a quesadilla!*
